Seth Curry took a note from his brother Stephen Curry‘s book. Seth exploded for 23 1st Quarter points, making 6 3s, to propel the Sixers to an early lead.

Sixers’ commentator makes a questionable comment regarding Joel Embiid and Josh Giddey

The Sixers, after a strong 1st quarter, couldn’t manage to pull away. The Thunder kept within striking range. During the 4th quarter, the Sixers were looking to wrap up the game and still had their starters out. The Thunder rookie, Josh Giddey saw a chance for an open dunk, and ran for it. Joel Embiid couldn’t let him get away with that, and ended up fouling the young guard.

The chase down block led to the guard getting pushed to the ground, and both Giddey and Embiid took a hard fall.

However, more than the block, it was the commentator’s statement that raised questions. He questioned the rookie for running fast breaks in the last minute. he also added,

“I just worry about when he(Joel Embiid) falls. No offense to Giddey, I could care less.”

This is not something any commentator should say, for any player. It doesn’t matter whether you’re rooting for a team or not, sportsman spirit is very important.
